The artwork titled “Massif near the House” by Edouard Vuillard, created between 1905 and 1907, utilizes oil on board as its medium. This piece, measuring 50.2 by 65 cm, belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and depicts a landscape. It is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork portrays a serene and lush scene dominated by verdant greenery. In the foreground, a circular flowerbed bursting with vibrant reds anchors the composition, while the background is enveloped in the rich foliage of trees and shrubs, suggesting a well-tended garden. To the right, the partial glimpse of a house, enveloped in greenery, evokes a sense of tranquility and domestic harmony. The use of broad, expressive brushstrokes imparts a sense of movement and life, characteristic of Post-Impressionist style. The colors are vibrant and dynamic, yet they blend harmoniously, creating an impression of dappled sunlight filtering through the foliage. The overall effect is one of peacefulness and immersion in nature, capturing a moment of quiet beauty in a residential garden setting.
